My TS1610F came with a "bush hog 1846QT" loader already on it when I bought it. It is run from the engine mounted pump I assume to be original equipment. There are times when I wonder about pump capacity, when I have it loaded and try to raise and tilt at the same time it "loses altitude"
This may be the two joystick setup they installed as controls.
As long as I either raise or tilt independantly, it works fine.
My concerns about it possibly being a pump capacity issue have kept me from gambling on a single joystick control.
As far as lift capacity, I would estimate that it has handled about 500 lb or so, as long as it close to the bucket. {I built a boom pole and learned about the leverage thing.....}
